Everything you need to know about getting started with therapy at Mindful Clarity Counseling.
I currently have a few openings for new clients. If you'd like to get started, please reach out through the contact page and I'll be in touch within 1–2 business days.
A free 15-minute phone consultation is an opportunity for us to briefly connect, for you to share a bit about what you're looking for, and for me to answer any initial questions. It helps both of us get a sense of whether we might be a good fit before committing to a full session.
The first session is largely about getting to know you — your history, your current situation, and what you're hoping to work on. I'll ask questions and listen carefully. You don't need to have everything figured out before we begin.
The length of therapy varies depending on your goals and what you're working through. Some clients find a few months is sufficient; others engage in longer-term work. We'll check in regularly and adjust based on how things are progressing.
My session fee is $175 for a 50-minute individual session. Couples sessions are $200 for a 50-minute session. Please reach out for the most current information.
I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. However, I can provide a superbill (itemized receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement, depending on your out-of-network benefits.
I keep a limited number of reduced-fee spots for clients who demonstrate financial need. Please mention this in your initial inquiry and we can discuss options.
I see clients in person at two Austin locations: McNeil Drive in North Austin (Mondays) and Austin Center Blvd in Central Austin (Wednesdays). I also offer telehealth sessions throughout Texas Monday through Wednesday.
Standard sessions are 50 minutes. Longer sessions (75–90 minutes) may be available for intensive or initial assessment sessions.
I ask for at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice are charged the full session fee, as that time cannot be filled by another client.
Research supports the effectiveness of telehealth therapy for many concerns. Many clients find that the flexibility and privacy of telehealth is actually preferable. We'll find the format that works best for you.
I use a bottom-up approach that integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness-based techniques, and attachment theory. Rather than just addressing symptoms, we look at where they come from — the experiences and patterns that created them. You can learn more on the My Approach page.
Yes. I work with teenagers (typically ages 13 and up) experiencing anxiety, depression, school stress, identity questions, and family challenges. Parent involvement is discussed and arranged on a case-by-case basis.
Yes. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. There are legal exceptions I'm required to share: if there is risk of harm to yourself or others, or if a court orders it. I'll review the specifics with you during our first session.
